"THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF
POTOMAC" WRAPPED UP ITS FINALE
LAST WEEK, AND NOW WE GET READY
FOR THE THREE-PART REUNION.
ELLEN TALKED WITH THE NEWS CAST
MEMBERS FOR WHAT WE CAN EXPECT.
>> WENDY, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR JOINING US TODAY FOR "GREAT
DAY WASHINGTON."
DAY WASHINGTON." THAT WAS SUCH A HIGHLIGHT.
YOUR REACTION.
YOUR REACTION. >> I LOVED IT.
I LOVED THE FACT THAT WE GOT TO
GO TO PORTUGAL!
>> I HAD NO IDEA.
>> I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW I
KNEW THAT.
KNEW THAT. >> WHAT WAS IT LIKE?
THIS WAS YOUR FIRST SEASON ON
"REAL HOUSEWIVES OF POTOMAC,"
AND SEASON FIVE FOR MANY OF THE
OTHER LADIES, WAS IT HARD TO
ESTABLISH YOURSELF WHEN THEY
HAVE BEEN ON?
>> WELL, YEAH, IT'S A GROUP OF
STRONG-MINDED, STRONG,
STRONG-MINDED, STRONG, OPINIONATED WOMEN.
OPINIONATED WOMEN. I JUST SAID I'M GOING TO COME
IN THERE AND BE MYSELF WITH ALL
OF MY QUIRKINESS THAT COMES
WITH ME.
WITH ME.
WITH ME. AND THE WOMEN WERE GREAT.
FOR THE MOST PART, THEY ALL
WELCOMED ME WITH OPEN ARMS.
THAT WAS VERY GOOD.
>> THAT WAS NICE.
THE STORY LINE OF YOURS THAT I
LOVED TO SEE PLAY OUT WAS YOU
FINDING YOUR OWN IN YOUR
CAREER.
CAREER.
CAREER. AND THE DIRECTION YOU WANTED TO
TAKE IT.
TAKE IT.
TAKE IT. THAT MOMENT WITH YOUR MOM IN
THE PUMPKIN PATCH I THOUGHT WAS
AMAZING TO SEE.
WHAT DID YOU HOPE PEOPLE GOT
FROM WATCHING THAT STORY LINE
OF YOURS?
OF YOURS?
OF YOURS? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, I THINK
THERE ARE TWO PARTS.
FOR ME, I'M REALLY CLOSE TO MY
FAMILY AND I THINK THERE'S PART
OF EACH OF US THAT WANTS TO BE
ACCEPTED.
ACCEPTED.
ACCEPTED. OR FEEL AS THOUGH WE ARE MAKING
THEM PROUD.
THEM PROUD. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I GOT
FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE SAYING
THEY'VE EXPERIENCED THAT AS
WELL.
WELL.
WELL. WHILE ALSO JUST CHASING YOUR
DREAMS, KNOWING THAT, YOU KNOW,
YOU MAY BE IN A JOB, YOU MAY BE
IN A DIFFERENT CAREER, AND IT
MAY NOT BE NECESSARILY WHAT YOU
WANT TO DO AND IT IS OKAY TO
MAKE PIVOTS ALONG THE WAY AND
SAY, I WANT TO CHANGE.
I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING NEW.
EVERY TIME YOU HAVE THAT
FEELING, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO
TAKE A LEAP.
SO, THAT'S WHAT I GOT OUT OF IT.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE A LEAP AND
CHASE YOUR DREAMS AND CHASE
YOUR HEART.
YOUR HEART. >> WE WERE WATCHING IT A LITTLE
BIT DELAYED, JUST BECAUSE OF
COVID, THINGS GOT PUSHED.
DID YOU LOOK AT IT AND THINK,
OH, MY GOSH, I'VE GROWN SO MUCH
SINCE THIS TIME LAST YEAR?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. IT IS SO INTERESTING HOW
FILLING THE SHOW WAS LIKE A
TIME CAPSULE OF WHO YOU ARE AT
THAT MOMENT, AT THAT TIME.
FOR ME, I WAS A MOM OF A
NEWBORN, EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY
TWO OLDER SONS.
YOU KNOW, I HAD CAMERON.
AND, BEING A MOM OF A NEWBORN
CHANGES YOU AND GIVES YOU
DIFFERENT EMOTIONS.
DIFFERENT EMOTIONS. I'M SUCH A DIFFERENT PERSON NOW
THAT CAMERON, 17 MONTHS, SHE'S
WALKING, SHE'S TALKING, AND I
HAVE JUST CHANGED AS A PERSON
AND IT IS SO INTERESTING TO SEE
WHO I WAS A YEAR AGO.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. AND THEN TRY TO PUT THOSE
PIECES TOGETHER.
PIECES TOGETHER. I HAVE SEEN THE PREVIEWS THAT
WERE HEADING INTO THE REUNION.
IT IS A THREE-PART REUNION,
RIGHT?
RIGHT?
RIGHT? >>
RIGHT? >> YES, IT IS.
>> WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT FROM
THIS REUNION?
THIS REUNION? >> MY GOODNESS.
I THINK THERE IS A CLIP OF ME
SAYING, THIS IS REALLY INTENSE.
IT WAS.
IT WAS.
IT WAS. IT WAS MY FIRST REUNION.
I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT,
BUT JUST SITTING IN THE ROOM
WITH ALL OF THEM TOGETHER, THE
FIRST TIME SINCE A YEAR AGO.
AND SO, LITERALLY, A YEAR TO
THE DATE ALMOST.
IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE
WERE ALL IN THE SAME ROOM.
THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS THAT
NEEDED TO BE DISCUSSED AND
HASHED OUT.
HASHED OUT. AND OVER THE COURSE OF 11
HOURS.
HOURS.
HOURS. I
HOURS. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT TOOK THAT
LONG.
LONG.
LONG. 11
LONG. 11 HOURS, YES.
WE GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF
EVERYTHING AND MORE THAT YOU
GUYS SAW THIS SEASON.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. WE ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO
WAIT TO SEE IT.
EXCELLENT.
EXCELLENT. THANK YOU, WENDY.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TODAY.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
